The freedom to sleep how you want
AirFit N30i is designed to make wearing a CPAP mask feel more natural, with air tubing that stays out of your way. This unique design allows you to move freely and comfortably switch positions. It also features a nasal cradle cushion that rests comfortably under the nose, rather than over it, and QuietAir vent technology, which is designed to minimize noise.
This design is ideal for stomach sleepers, prevents top-of-nose discomfort and gives you a more open field of vision than traditional nasal cushions.
“6 in 10 CPAP users say they sleep better after replacing their supplies3.”
Frequently asked questions
A CPAP prescription is required for an AirFit N30i. Cost and coverage varies by insurance provider and plan. After your doctor has provided you with a prescription, we recommend first contacting your insurance provider to learn more about what’s covered under your plan. Then you can find CPAP stores near you or online.
The home medical equipment supplier – the store where you picked up your CPAP mask and machine – is responsible for providing you with ongoing clinical support, including answering any questions and helping you resolve any mask comfort or fitting issues that you may be experiencing. Getting used to a mask can be challenging and there may be a different mask option that will work better for your personal comfort needs, so don’t hesitate to reach out!

You should clean the cushion daily. The headgear, frame and elbow only require weekly cleaning. Facial oil and dirt can easily build up on your mask parts when they’re not cleaned properly, which can lead to skin irritation. The good news? Cleaning your mask doesn’t take long, so working it into your morning routine should be a breeze.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR HEADGEAR:
Time it takes: 5 minutes
Supplies you’ll need to clean your mask:
- Sink or tub
- Warm, drinking-quality water (86°F / 30°C)
- Mild or hypoallergenic soap, or baby shampoo
- Towel
Step-by-step cleaning tips:
- Unplug your CPAP machine from the power source and disconnect your mask/tubing from your machine.
- Disassemble your mask:
a. Pull the cushion out from one end of the frame, then out from the other end of the frame.
b. Unfasten the headgear tab from one side and pull it out of the frame, then do the same with the other side.
c. Squeeze the side buttons on the elbow and pull up to release it from the frame. - In the sink, clean your mask parts by gently rubbing (or using a soft-bristle brush) with warm, drinking-quality water and soap. Avoid harsh cleaning products and dish detergents.
- Rinse again thoroughly with warm, drinking-quality water.
- Place mask components on the towel and allow to air-dry away from direct sunlight

Use of ozone4 may discolor a Resmed mask during the Resmed limited warranty period and that will not be covered. Discoloration of Resmed masks is only covered during the limited warranty period if it occurs upon initial unpackaging.
It’s important to take regular care of your CPAP equipment – especially the various parts of your mask, which can be affected by dirt, oil and residue from your skin. Poorly cleaned CPAP masks can cause discomfort and skin irritation. The last thing we all need is another to-do item, so contact your CPAP equipment store and ask if they have a replacement supply (resupply) program that you can enroll in to get new parts on a consistent schedule.
Most CPAP masks have silicone cushions because it’s a hypoallergenic material that’s soft, lightweight and allows for a stable, comfortable seal on your face while you’re sleeping. It’s important that you decide what’s most comfortable for you and your therapy when it comes to your mask cushion. If you have issues with your current mask, contact your CPAP equipment store to let them know so you can try a different mask.
